The cloud fundamentally changes everything. Traditionally, ownership and responsibility for all aspects of the technology you use, from infrastructure to software, has fallen to enterprises. When you move to the cloud, you can instead provision and consume just the resources you need, when you need them. Although the cloud offers tremendous flexibility, to get the most benefit out of your move to the cloud, you need a proven and consistent methodology for adopting cloud technologies. The Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure meets that need, helping guide decisions throughout cloud adoption. This learning path provides an overview of the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure and how to use it as part of a cybersecurity solution.The deadline for agencies to update plans for federal network infrastructure, including adoption of cloud technology, and report those plans to OMB/NSC, per Section 3 of the Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, is July 11, 2021.

Know your data, protect your data, and don't lose your data. These are the basic tenets of good information protection - data discovery, classification, and protection. This learning path provides an overview of the Microsoft data protection capabilities and how to use them to protect and govern data as part of a cybersecurity solution. The deadline for the heads of federal civilian agencies to evaluate and classify agency data and provide to DHS and OMB a report of their evaluation, per Section 8 of the Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, is August 24, 2021.

Secure software development means integrating security into each phase of your development lifecycle, from requirements analysis to maintenance. Microsoft provides many services that can help you develop more secure code and deploy a more secure application in the cloud. This learning path provides an overview of the services and offerings available to help you build secure software as part of a cybersecurity solution.The deadline for agencies to comply with NIST/CISA/OMB guidance on security measures for critical software (including applying practices of least privilege, network segmentation, and proper configuration), per section 4 of the Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, is August 10, 2021. The deadline for agencies to comply with the guidance identifying practices that enhance the security of the software supply chain with respect to software procurement, also per section 4, is March 8, 2022.

Multifactor authentication helps secure your environment and resources by requiring that your users confirm their identity by using multiple authentication methods, like a phone call, text message, mobile app notification, or one-time password. You can use multifactor authentication both on-premises and in the cloud to add security for accessing Microsoft online services, remote access applications, and more. This learning path provides an overview of how to use multifactor authentication as part of a cybersecurity solution.The deadline for agencies to adopt multifactor authentication and encryption at rest and in transit to the maximum extent (and report on progress every 60 days), per Section 3 of the Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, is November 8, 2021.
